How much wood do you use?
What kind of Container do you use?

I try and use willow, if not, I use alder. I have a drum I got from a winery. The drum was used to transport malts in.

shadow, about how much would you sell a pound for? or can you give us some sort of idea, cause i see alot of profit in this

Shadow

Its usually pretty cheap. It all depends where you live and how much it is going to cost to ship.

What would you say is a rough estimate?

Shadow

Usually a few bucks for 5 pounds.

O.K. Ill bite here. Is there any way to compact the powder into small chunks for use via BBQ? The powder is relatively useless for me as I require it in solid chunks or else the charcoal will fall through the steel container when I put it in the BBQ.
